Snowy Perched

Found a bunch of these guys in a very weedy pond, and only had a small window between bushes from which to shoot. It's very dry in the Everglades right now. Hard to find birds.

Wayne,

Very nice light and color. My eye is drawn to the wonderful detail in the legs and feet on the larger version. Placement of the bird works very well, a strong composition.

I like everything about this one, Wayne. Nice lighting-especially that light falling on the front of the bird. Beautiful colors and contrast in the background. Comp is good. Nice image all around.

Wayne,
I love the perch and the included habitat. The whites look really good with some good detai in them. The composition is really a stand out feature of this shot Wayne. The details are very good. I really like this alot.

Nice shot Wayne, actually my favorite part is the light hiting on the legs bringing out the yellow
